And all those actors are going to want to get paid for those views. I suspect this is the end of "commercial-free streaming" and we're headed back to "the cable model".

There's no way subscriptions alone can cover residuals for all those actors, producers, voice talent, off-screen talent.

The only business model that did that prior was cable and regular tv with commercials.

Trust me, there's a reason streaming services hid their view counts

This has been a topic for a long time and it's here. All these services exchanging content and big mergers and lower the price of ad supported tiers.

I can't believe we going right back to freaking cable.

I still want to know how did the corporations THINK this was supposed to work in the first place? Nothing is happening now that any first year b school student couldn't have figured out.

How? Streaming didn't start out as the prevailing way to watch TV. Eveyrone was still on cable and Netflix was still mailing dvds when it first started to stream. With most things still coming out on DvD and cable first, I doubt the actors noticed until "cutting the cord" became the standard and not "the exception". So, now shows where no longer on cable, they were mainly on streaming and the old business of paying royalties shrank to nothing. Actors/producers who used to make good money in retirement from their hit shows, now don't make shit.

Now a lot of this is our fault too. Ask anybody will they be cool with mandatory commercials during streaming and they'll say "no"
